"If we in our lifetime did nothing more than express our love of the arts by providing a building worthy of them, even when names are forgotten, the building will always remain as a testimony to what was done in the year 1954 by a group of citizens for the encouragement of talent and culture"​John Jospeh Cahil, who made possible the construction of Sydney Opera House.

I really like the department of philosophy at New York University. In that rainbow one is able to see the absence of phenomenal discontinuities or boundary lines: when one perceives the array of color in which there is a gradual transition from red to blue, and so on. Reminding us of Stumpf's notion of "fusion" (later also taken by Husserl). How much human perception goes beyond quantitative principles! We don’t perceive in terms of stimuli, but as genuine psychological components of our experience: the appearances. The epistemological gap between the neuronal mechanisms and the qualitative aspects of perception, in contemporary phenomenology and sciences of the mind and brain, seems the really hard problem of perception.
